Edmond Tapsoba, the most decisive defender in Europe's five major leagues this season

The Burkina Faso international playing for Bayer Leverkusen is delivering a remarkable performance.

Edmond Tapsoba once again distinguished himself against FC St. Pauli on Saturday 14 February in the 22nd round of the German Bundesliga. The centre-back scored Bayer Leverkusen's third goal in the match, which ended in a resounding 4-0 victory for the Werkself.

The goal, scored in the 52nd minute, was the Burkina Faso international's fourth in the league this season. He also has two assists to his name. Overall, Tapsoba has been directly involved in six goals this season with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

No other centre-back has done as much this season in Europe's top five leagues. This makes Tapsoba the most decisive player in his position in Europe for the 2025-26 campaign.
